A member asked:
Iv been going to the gym since august 2018, iv adjusted my diet but i feel im gaining weight! could this be water retention?

May be increased : muscle mass contributing to weight gain, If you notice swelling of legs or ankles, this is possibly from fluid restention; however, unlikely at your age. Restrict salt to lrss than 2 grams ( 2000 mg) /day and avoid carb loading/supplememnts.
